As promised earlier this week, I'm presenting a list of issues for any
weekend warriors that want to have something to work on that will help
with the development of MediaWiki and Wikipedia.
Most of these I talked about earlier. Next Friday, though, I will have
some new bugs that aren't in Monday's Triage.
If you work on these, post a comment to the wikitech-l letting us know
about your work.
== Blank slates ==
These bugs seem like they'd be pretty straightforward to reproduce and
fix. Unlike the next section, though, they don't have a proposed
solution. If you don't have commit access, you can put attach patches
to the bugs and I'll see if I can commit them next week.
=== Block notice when editing talk page of blocked user doesn't go away
after block expires ===
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/27858
I haven't yet had a chance to track this one down properly, but
something wonky is going on here. See if you can track it down,
reproduce it on your own installation and, then, be a hero and fix it!
=== Upgrade fails "Unknown character set: 'mysql4'" ===
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/29102
This is an installer bug that is probably trivial to fix. Fix it before
Chad gets to it!
=== Cannot remove watchlist junk, either in Edit Watchlist page or by
editing raw watchlist ===
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/28936
I've added Roan's steps to reproduce the issue to the bug.
=== Implement a way for authorized users to use Special:PasswordReset on
other usernames ===
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/29135
Lots of details in the bug.
=== Require token for watching/unwatching pages ===
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/27655
Bryan doesn't have time to work on this one right now. Any one want to
take a shot?
=== width of <gallery> always 100% ===
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/27540
See if you can fix my example:

== Patches ==
The following bugs all come with patches. Verifying them and making
sure they are sane would make a few easy projects this weekend. Even if
you don't have commit access, your comment on the bug (“hey, I tried
this before and after the patch and the patch fixed the problem!”) would
be helpful.
=== Suppressed edits still appear in Special:DeletedContributions and
Special:Undelete ===
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/19725
=== lang and hreflang attributes for interwiki links ===
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/4901
=== Email notification mistakes log action for new page creation ===
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/14901
=== WAI-ARIA landmark roles to improve accessibility ===
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/18338
If you have a screen reader and want to make Wikipedia more accessible,
this may be a good place to start.
== Happy Hacking ==
See you all on Monday!
Mark.
